Surgical Services

We perform approximately 1000 surgeries a year at EVH. Our veterinarians are very skilled and have many years of experience performing a variety of surgeries including; arthroscopy, fracture repair, tenoscopy, laparoscopy, colic, cryptorchid, castration, standing diagnostic arthroscopy, upper airway and various other routine and emergency surgeries.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the use of very small needles placed in the skin at strategic locations to stimulate a healing response in the equine body. Acupuncture is used in conjunction with traditional medicine to
treat musculoskeletal, skin, respiratory, gastrointestinal and reproductive problems. Acupuncture treatment promotes relaxation of the muscles at the site of needle insertion as well as stimulates the body to release anti-inflammatory and pain relieving substances. Acupuncture can also increase tissue blood flow, oxygenation and stimulate a nerve response, and regeneration in the case of nerve damage.
